3.1Once all of the framework for the roof is assembled, start fitting the pre-cut 100mm insulation.

3.2Additional insulation. At the crown and ridge of the roof, insert cavity insulation (supplied) between aluminium.

3.3Once insulation is fully fitted, cover the entire roof with the pre-cut 12mm plywood. To fix on to bottom of ring beam, use 20mm self-drilling screws (supplied). Fix these 55mm from the front edge, every 300mm. Then, fasten up the hips and rafters every 300mm, using 40mm self-drilling screws (supplied).

3.4Once the plywood is fitted and secure, fit the drip tray around the edge of the roof.

3.5Cover the roof with a breathable membrane. Ensure at least 50mm of membrane runs over the edge of the roof (this can be trimmed back later).

4. Tile application : Steel tiles

4.1When the roof is felted, tile application can commence. Position the tile cleat to overhang the roof by approximately 50mm and attach to roof using a batten (running vertically up the roof). Attach tile cleat at either end of the facet, then install battens across the whole facet at 300mm centres.

4.2Once the cleat is in place, hook the first tile over the cleat to locate.

4.3Continue to install the tiles by fixing to the battens along the top edge of the tile.

4.4Once the roof is fully tiled, lay the framework to tile the ridges. Using a ridge tile to set the width, fix timber battens over ridge and hip ready for the ridge tiles application.

4.5Using high-quality flash band (supplied), seal the ridge joints with a heat gun.

4.6Affix ridge tiles to timber battens and finish with end caps.

4.7Complete the tiling by fitting the ridge moulding.

5. Non-standard roof clowns (steel tile only)

5.1Once the ridge tile position has been established, mark the flash band with the central location of each hip. This will identitfy the capping point of the roof.

5.2Using a ridge tile position, fix the battens for the ridge and hips to create a framework for the cap. The ridge tiles running up the hips should be spread to reduce their height. This way they can fit under the ridge tile.

5.3Once the cap is created, use the centre line drawn in step 5.1 to line up and mark the tiles that cover each of the hips.

5.4Once you are happy with the position of the tiles, you can cut them to sit in position.

5.5Continue working your way around the cap, cutting each ridge tile into the previous one.

5.6Once all the hip tiles are in place, position the ridge tile. Mark carefully so the ridge tile sits at the cap of the roof.

5.7Cut the tile to size and fit into position.

5.8Use the glue and dust kits (supplied) if additional cover of the joins is required

6. Tile application : Composite slate tiles

6.1Begin tiling along the roof edge, starting from the centre and work your way out, allowing for a 50mm overhang over the ring beam. Tiles should be screwed onto the plywood directly using 2 x 35mm steel screws or clout nails. Tiles should be aligned using the centre markers and gauge pre-marked on the tiles. Gauge Roof pitch 6” 14˚-25˚ 6.5” 25˚-27.5˚ 7” 27.5˚-30˚ 7.5” 30˚ +

6.2When you reach the ridge edges, you need to cut the tiles to shape and size to fit the ridges of the roof.

6.3Using a high quality flash band, seal the ridge joints with a heat gun and install the ridge tiles.

6.4Affix ridge tiles using 2 x 30mm stainless steel screws.

6.5Complete the tiling using ridge tiles.

7. Roof windows - optional

7.1Before installing the roof window, install the first course of tiles. Place the roof window in position and mark the position of the roof.

7.2Cut the breathable membrane using a Stanley knife leaving at least 75mm on each side to overlap the outside of the frame (see inset).

7.3Reposition the frame and mark the position of the roof window on the plyboard.

7.4Cut the hole to size using a jigsaw.

7.5Drop the roof window into place. Ensuring the breathable membrane covers the outside of the frame.

7.6Install the roof window following the manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Finishing off

8.1Install capping board by positioning the first gutter bracket and marking its location. Screw will then be covered by the gutter bracket. These steps can be done before or after the drip tray and membrane are installed.

8.2Fix the gutter brackets into the ring beam using 40mm self-tapping screws at maximum 450mm centres.

8.3Fix the guttering into position on the gutter brackets, taking care to seal the external angles. Affix corner trims onto fascia boards.

8.4Reposition the exisiting lead to complete the external installation

8.5We advise carrying out a water test for both steel and composite slate tile installations. This should be done before internal work commences.
